National Geographic - Mars

So ive been waiting for this 6 part series since december, (This is when it aired in the USA)

Fast forward to today, I Stumble uppon it on my new IQ3, You guys are up to episode 3...

Episode 3 is only available on Nat Geo HD... Im not payting 10bucks to access HD...

I thought ok, episode 3 has probably already aired on the normal non HD Nat geo chanel... I will just use Foxtel Anytime.... Episode 4, 5 and 6 are available.. 1 2 and 3 are not...

This is not good enough! Whats the point of anytime if I cant watch episode 1, 2, and 3?

So ok.. Now desperate for an alternative, I go to the Nat Geo Website to see if I can pay to watch it there... Only to find that it is only available to USA Cable TV Subscribers.. In a list of a couple of hundred cable providers Foxtel is not listed.... Why Not?

Re: National Geographic - Mars

There is no difference between Nat Geo and Nat Geo HD other than that the latter is in HD.

The catchup/on demand rights are different from the broadcast rights. It seems Foxtel don't have the streaming rights. I had a look at the ANZ Nat Geo site ( http://www.nationalgeographic.com.au/ ) and there's nothing on there about catchup on any of Foxtel, Fetch TV or Sky NZ.
